— Sep 16, 2026
The European Union has offered Canada its first-ever associate membership spanning trade, defense, minerals, energy, space and research, a move that drew sharp criticism from Trump who warned of tariffs and potential consequences. Across the US-Canada border, small businesses face a costly trade war with tariffs totaling about 5.5% of bilateral trade and some products facing up to 50% taxes, hurting cross-border sales and raising costs amid broader global tensions such as the Iran conflict.

IRS Raises 1099 Reporting Threshold to $2,000 Starting in 2026
x/internal-revenue-service
— Sep 9, 2026
The rise of 1099 independent contractors is highlighted by about 11.9 million workers in 2023, with a federal shift tightening 1099 reporting by raising the Form 1099-NEC/MISC threshold to $2,000 per payee starting in 2026, meaning many small payments won’t trigger a 1099 form even as workers owe taxes on all income. Separately, a proposed DOL rule would make it easier to classify workers as independent contractors by prioritizing control over work and profit potential, a change that could reduce employer costs while expanding contractor opportunities for workers; reforms are unfolding even as workers face ongoing tax obligations regardless of form documentation.
